Van Doren reads
poetry selections
Wednesday night
Mark Van Doren, Pulitzer
Prize winner for poetry in 1939,
will be on campus Wednesday
to read selections from his
work. The presentation will be
at 7:30 p.m. in the Main Lounge
of Memorial Center.
His visit is being sponsored
by the Staymate Foundation
grant set up to bring outstand-ing
speakers to the campus.
Mr. Van Doren graduated
from the University of Illinois
and received his master's and
doctorate degrees from Colum-bia
University. He has also been

His poems were described by

and satisfying product of an al-ways
questioning, questing, cur-ious
and loving intelligence."

Opera singer, Miss Hunt most
recently appeared on Broadway
playing the lead- in "The Sound

grant $29,800,000 over the next
two years to Illinois residents in
private institutions, passed both
State Senate and House Commit-tees
on Education.
According to Lee Short, direc-tor
of admissions, the proposed
legislation, which could afford
IWU as much as $240,000 per
year, should be passed in May or
early summer.
If the bill passes, any student
needing financial aid could re-ceive
$150 to $1000 each year
for his college education.
Students needing such assis-tance
should contact Lynn Nich-elson,
director of Student Finan-cial

appearing as a guest. Before
long he started to include some
duets with her. When Mr.
Wrightson became a regular on
the Robert Q. Lewis Show, he
suggested that Miss Hunt be-come

They eventually teamed up
and now appear on TV shows
such as the Bell Telephone
Hour, as well as in clubs across
the country.
BOTH ARE under contract to
Columbia Records and have
made best-selling albums of
music by Jerome Kern, Rudolf
Friml and Sigmund Romberg.
Individually their triumphs
are many. Miss Hunt sang pri-vately
and in USO canteens in
the Philadelphia area until she
won the Metropolitan Opera
Company's Auditions of the Air
for her performance of the
Jewel Song from "Faust."
Among the many roles she
has sung at the Met are Mimi
and Musetta in "La Boheme,"

The bill is primarily directed
to upperclassmen. It would en-able
Wesleyan to send 180 up-perclassman
applications which
could reap a maximum of
$180,000. However, one-third of
the bill could give 60 incoming,
freshmen the chance for an ad-ditional
$60,000.
To qualify for the scholar-ships,
a student is required to
be a resident of Illinois, to have
at least a 2.0 average and to be
financially needy. Every student
who could qualify must furnish
one-third in self-help which
could be composed of summer
pay, campus jobs, loans and
scholarships.
